No application was made for an order under this section.
Inspection and Supervision of Food.
A large proportion of the work of food inspection was devoted
to the examination, salvage and disposal of food damaged by
enemy, action in the spring raids and flying-bomb and rocket
attacks later in the year. For obvious reasons no figures of the
amount of food dealt with were made public. As soon as practicable
after an incident occurred the premises were visited, the food
therein examined and passed as fit for food or otherwise. In cases
of severe damage arrangements were made in co-operation with the
Food Executive Officer for persons registered with such shops to
obtain their rationed foods from another source.
